View-Master Reels and Packets A Collector's Guide by Harry zur Kleinsmiede
(Volume II USA and CANADA)
This is the 2nd volume of Harry zur Kleinsmiede's three-volume collector's guide
to ViewMaster. (The 3rd volume is not yet released.)
It is a historical overview of View-Master
Reels and Packets since its introduction. It is an absolute necessity for the
View-Master collector in the world, written by Harry zur Kleinsmiede, who has
been collecting View-Master Memorabilia longer than anyone else in the world,
starting in 1952 when he was five years old.
This second volume lists all
the ViewMaster packets made of sites in the USA and Canada. It also
includes listings and contents of all North American Scenic reels and the reels
made of Disney parks. This is an even larger book than the first volume and
again a must have!

Viewmaster
Collectors Guide Supplement
The
book has 480 pages including eight full colour sections of four pages
each.
The book follows the three
volumes and gives additional information, unknown issues, new releases,
excerpts from dealer magazines, and much more.
Also it gives an overview
of Reel Lists and Order Forms that have been available for the consumer
market until February 1980. As Dalia Miller says: "Reel Lists today
are collected for their dated information, a glimpse into the past,
providing a time line for the issue of reels. They are also collected
for their beauty and variety as accessories or peripheries of
View-Master collecting."
Available since October 15,
2015 (the day that 50 years ago William Gruber passed away) |

 This
rare 137 page book is an index of all the Viewmaster reels made up to the time
of publishing 1995. Bob Shotsberger worked tirelessly on this and it is
considered to be a classic. It has an interesting forward on Bob's
background and later indexes every view on every reel. First listed by
catalog number and then subject. There are no illustrations. The
book is 3 hole punched and bound with the hole binder tacks. We are down to a
single digit number of copies.
